Sending form to 2 different scripts

Anon

Hi! I am a beginner so please don't be angry! I want to send a form to 2 different scripts , 1 PHP which records the variables in a file and 1 PERL FORMAILER. The PHP script is on another server to the form. I've been scratching my head for a long time but am not making much headway. The form is on a server with PERL (no PHP) and I know very little about PERL. Can I have 2 ACTIONS? Probably not!

Thank you for any ideas!

We dont get angry here ;-).

Hmmmm... what I would do, is have everything sent to 1 page (your records page I am assuming on your local server). Then the first thing I would do on the records page is:

$fp = fopen("http://www.blah.com?script.pl?variable1=$variable1&variable2=$variable2");

$results = fgets($fp,4000);

Where $variable1 and 2 is your data from the form. Then I would do you recording stuff on the localserver. Does that make sense? Hope so!

Hope this Helps!

Hi Nashirak,
Thanks for your message. The server where the form is doesn't have PHP, and I didn't want to send everything (initially) to the PHP server for processing if possible, because then I have 2 server reliabilities to contend with, if you follow me, and the form contents are very important. I was hoping there was some way I could send the form to the FORMMAIL on the local (Perl only) server and a copy to my PHP server. 2 ACTIONS I presume doesn't work. Or I was thinking if I could send the form to a (local) Perl script that send the variables to the (local) FORMMAILER and a copy to my PHP server. The problem is I know very little about Perl, although I think I'm going to have to buy a book!!
